UiPath IPO set for 2021?

“We had plans for listing on the stock exchange even before the pandemic, but we made a promise, namely that we would initiate the IPO only when we are profitable. The pandemic has accelerated our plans. We have a very solid financial situation, and we plan to apply for the IPO next year”
